Honda Biz launches Kuromi special edition with purple look after success at geek event
Honda expands its model range with the launch of Biz Kuromi, a special series that celebrates the iconic Sanrio character. The new motorcycle, which combines bold design elements and a purple color palette, will arrive at dealerships from August, seeking to attract an audience that values authenticity and pop culture. The official presentation of the model is a direct result of the positive reception of prototypes at major events.
The new edition of Biz Kuromi was developed by designers from Honda Brasil, who were inspired by the great approval of the concept motorcycles exhibited at CCXP, in São Paulo, at the end of 2025. The enthusiasm of the geek public at the event motivated the creation and production of this limited version, combining the practicality of Biz with the charisma of the Kuromi character.

A partnership that reinforces the identity of cultural icons
Both the Honda Biz 125 and the character Kuromi appeared in the same year, in 2005, and have since won over a wide audience. The Biz has become a very popular motorcycle in Brazil, known for its versatility and economy. At the same time, Kuromi, with her irreverent and charming character, became a true icon of global pop culture, especially among young people. This synergy of authenticity, boldness and attitude was the link that drove the collaboration between the two brands.

The model also features LED front position lights, a blackout instrument panel for better viewing, a practical compartment under the seat and a USB-C socket, making it easier to charge electronic devices. The ignition key, in addition to starting the motorcycle, also allows the seat to be opened, adding convenience to use.
